you're watching beyond one hundred days... at least 31 dead in the forest fires in california and 200 people still missing. the president has praised rescue workers — but not before he laid blame for how the blazes started and threatened to cut funding. the firefighters have warned that winds of up to 70 miles per hour are expected over the coming days, which will spread the fires further. 48 hours to put together a deal — pressure mounts on theresa may to gather ministers around her brexit plan. downing street said talks went on through the night but "substa ntial issues" remain unresolved. also on the programme..... a weekend to remember the war dead turns into a political post mortem as relations between european leaders and donald trump hit another low. and tackling fake news — we look at how false information is spread, and whether it can be stopped. hello and welcome — i'm christian fraser in london.

jane o'brien is in washington. california is burning — along the palm—fringed shoreline near los angeles and in the evergreen forests of the sierra nevada foothills. it is bone dry and this year an area the size of belgium and luxembourg has been set ablaze. this weekend at least 31 people have died, hundreds more are missing. right now there are three major wildfires. and with strengthening winds threatening to spread the flames, emergency workers are struggling to bring them under control. an estimated 250,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. dan johnson reports. they are called the devil winds, and they are doing the devil's work. a hot dry breeze carries a wall of flame over these hills, destroying anything in its wake.

thousands of homes have burned to the ground, some gone in a of minutes. here in malibu, coastal have been charred to ash. —— coastal neighbourhoods. the winds blew across, and the firestorms it started coming down, and we had to run to the ocean, then they just blew through here like a tornado. the rich and famous haven't been spared. welcome to my home in malibu. this is film star gerard butler returning home to find there is very little left. saved the whole block... and here neighbours have been reunited after running for their lives. put it that tree out right there, and that could have... you know, thank you. tyler stayed to fight the fire so whilst he and his wife watched homes across the street burn, he used the garden hose to keep away the flames. if i knew what i know now i'm not sure i would have run back in, because there was a point i was standing on the roof and i thought

i'm not going to make it out... you thought you were going to die? 100%. the only way i could have gotten off was to jump off my back roof come into my neighbour's yard, but there was a point where i was thinking, "i can't get off this roof," but luckily enough i was able to figure it out and it passed in enough time that i was able to jump down and, you know, hugged everyone around me. in areas like this you have some properties that are safe, have been completely untouched, and yet right next door at their homes like this that have been completely destroyed. there's very little left here. there's no sense to it and no fairness. hundreds of miles away, a different story. in paradise, everything's gone. this was total wipe—out. for now, the priority is containing the blazes — thousands of firefighters on the ground, being supported in the air, but they are not yet winning this battle.

danjohnson in los angeles. president trump has faced criticism over his response to the fires. he tweeted on saturday... but this morning, the president seemed to have changed his tone and shifted his focus to the rescue workers who are still battling the fire, tweeting. .. let's talk more about this with ron christie — who is here in the studio. that is a pattern here with natural disasters, he criticises then he

praises, what is the strategy?” disasters, he criticises then he praises, what is the strategy? i do not think there is any strategy, i think this is his essence, he tweets the first thing that comes into his mind. it takes a staff or perhaps his family to say, perhaps that was not a good idea. for you to be belittling what is going on in california. why can't he just freeze? is it really the time to talk about who's to blame or does he have a point? well, as my wife tells me, considered the source. i do not know why he does the things he does. to be serious, there are thousands of firefighters on the ground, risking their lives. the notion that the president says that is mismanagement, most of the forest is managed by the federal government. so he should criticise the government but he runs and not the

state of california. it is a set —— there is a time and place for politics but not when the lives of people and their homes at risk. 60% of people and their homes at risk. 6096 of california for under federal management and the firefighters are saying it is the federal government to have chosen to divert resources away. so the federal government is the one who spends money on this? true. we miss you in washington, dc. just to let you know. but as a native californian, i can tell you this is something we deal with every year. it is a very serious crisis in that it year. it is a very serious crisis in thatitis year. it is a very serious crisis in that it is a tough line to fall between trying to prove diseased trees and allowing nature to run its course. with a majority of the forest in california being run by the federal government, it is not something the president and his

administration should be criticising. they should be doing, as jane has pointed out, he should be doing everything he can to divert federal resources to assist rather than assault those who are dealing with this crisis. he has had a fight before with the democrat governor in california. that is why that is politics behind it. no question about that. donald trump has made no secret of the fact he cannot stand jerry brown, our governor. and also gavin newsome, who is the former emirof san gavin newsome, who is the former emir of san francisco, also not a fan of donald trump. he is letting his politics obscure what is a serious political crisis. let us pick the name—calling aside and deal with this crisis. politics will take

its place later. stay with us because i want to talk to you about other matters later. we are moving to brexit no. so many deadlines come and go in these brexit negotiations. but you do sense we are now at the point at which a decision can no longer be avoided. the european council president donald tusk says the deadline for the november summit is wednesday night. the parliamentary timetable is starting to look very, very difficult. of course a deal might emerge very quickly if the uk capitulates to european demands — but there's little chance of an agreement like that getting through parliament. and today there are rumours that ministers who want to remain in europe are lining up behind pro—brexit colleagues to vote down the prime minister's latest agreement with the eu. 0ur reporter caught up with one of theresa may's ministers — the brexit backing environment secretary michael gove to see if she can still count on his support. could the uk be held against its will in a customs arrangement? the prime minister is trying to get the very very best deal for britain and our team are out in brussels.

i wish them all good luck in making sure we get absolutely the right deal. what about a joint mechanism, would you support that? i think it is important we deliver on the referendum result and i know the prime minister is seeking to do exactly that. that means being able to leave unilaterally? it means delivering on the referendum. what do you think of borisjohnson‘s comments of a potential mutiny in the cabinet? haven't seen one. no possibility of a mutiny? if brexit ever then psion super interested in other aspects of life in britain and beyond those showers. iam not in britain and beyond those showers. i am not this mad person who comes in and says brexit is the biggest crisis in the world. right. the 48

hours, it is serious in this sense because that is what people in westminster say, she has 48 hours. it is serious in the sense that the uk and the european union, if they wa nt uk and the european union, if they want a uk and the european union, if they wanta summer uk and the european union, if they want a summer done uk and the european union, if they want a summer done before the end of this month, they want a deal in place which she can then sell to parliament. that will be tricky. we have been here before. is it less about the politics and more about what needs to be put in place if you do not do a deal? if you push the summit forward to december, the government has to see we have to put the measures in place if we cannot get a deal? i would not divorce those two things. it is scanned theresa may get a deal she can sell to her very deeply divided conservative party? i am not quite sure, i don't think anyone is whether we have reached a moment

whether we have reached a moment whether the political damn is about to burst for today said me. we have heard the criticism of boris johnson. his brother who was a remainer voicing criticism. we have reached the point where a lot of conservatives are doing the emperor's new clothes. her deal is rubbish. i am emperor's new clothes. her deal is rubbish. iam not emperor's new clothes. her deal is rubbish. i am not sure if we have reached a moment with whole thing is about to collapse in her government on whether conservative mps, despite the grumbling, will be saying no deal and that brings me to what you we re deal and that brings me to what you were talking about, what would we do then? despite all of their grumbling, it would be so grumpy —— so grumbling, it would be so grumpy —— so dreadful, they would agree to the deal. there you go, mass confusion. every time i hear you talk about brexit, that is a critical mass somewhere. usually someone has to resign. what can she do to bring her cabinet on this? i think she goes

back to what she has been doing for the last month or two, to keep up and essentially say you might not like me or think i am a great leader, you may not like my deal but think about this, look how ghastly and no deal would be. what that might mean in terms of stores running out of food, lines of flores, also think about the possibility of a domestic political crisis with another referendum and a general election. lines of flores. just think about the alternative she will say and they will conclude, my deal is the thing going. thank you very much indeed. veteran's day is being observed today in america. an occasion to mark the service and sacrifice of those who wear the uniform. let's hope the weather in washington is better than it was, this weekend, in france.

on saturday, mr trump abandoned his planned visit to an american cemetery near paris, blaming the heavy rain. even though other world leaders including justin trudeau managed to make it. and on sunday, while more than 60 world leaders walked together down the champs—elysees to mark the 100th anniversary of the armistice, president trump — and president putin — notably arrived seperately. and as they took their seats at the arc de triomphe they exchanged warm greetings. ron christie, republican strategist who worked in the george w bush white house is still with us. are we reading too much into this body language or is there a danger that america could abandon europe?|j that america could abandon europe?” think reading too much into this. i like to see the president having warm relations with foreign leaders, including vladimir putin. the notion we would abandon europe at this time

is preposterous. he was over there with 160 other leaders to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the war to end all wa i’s anniversary of the war to end all wars and so we stand together with oui’ wars and so we stand together with our european and other colleagues around the world, recognising we're all in this together. what do you make of this service on saturday at the american cemetery. they say it was because the helicopter could not ta ke was because the helicopter could not take off in the rain and low cloud but surely there would be an alternative strategy? this one baffles me a little bit. having worked for the vice president for four years, there is always a back—up plan. how many times have we landed at st andrews air force base and you jumped into watergate. the white house maintains it would've shut down central paris but a 50

mile journey with the president and vice president, there are alternatives. so to me that is something more to the story. was that a threat against the president? it is more than the weather, there is something else to the story we had not been told. you think you would have gone if he could, not that he did not want to go? absolutely, i am cutting him some slack. it is not the decision of the president to see go on no—ball, those decisions are made by the white house officials, marine corps oi’ white house officials, marine corps or secret service. somebody made that decision but we're not been told accurately who made that decision and why they made that decision. thank you very much. today the bbc is launching its season — beyond fake news — tracking how disinformation is spread and looking at what we can do to stop it. fake news has been blamed for igniting ethnic violence, misleading voters, and currency fluctuations. here in the us, the presidential election was targetted by russian operatives who used fake stories to further stoke division.

but it was donald trump himself who made the term fake news a household word. he and some members of his cabinet now use it to describe almost anything they don't agree with. and they're not alone. our technology correspondent dave lee looks at some of the issues. i've just received a call from secretary clinton. when donald trump won the presidency in 2016 there was a brief moment when the phrase fake news meant exactly that, news that wasn't true. but before he had even been inaugurated, this happened. i'm not going to give you a question. you're fake news. phoney. fake. it's all fake. fake news. fake . fake. it's all fake news. disgusting news. similarly overnight president trump took the phrase fake news and coopted it to mean using he did not

like or did not want to hear. it proved to be incredibly effective. the question of propaganda, you repeat things and you repeat things, you say it in different ways and all the time. that is the way propaganda work and that is what we're seeing here. after seeing how the discrediting the media got donald trump to the white house, other politicians around the world saw an opportunity of the own. it was a common refrain. see the campaign in the philippines. we see politicians in the uk and australia, saying don't believe that, trust me. studies suggest that among trump supporters trust in the media is at rock bottom. towards the end of 2018, attacks on the press took a more aggressive turn. fake news is in fact, and i hate to say this, in fact the enemy of the people. those words, enemy of the people, have really taken it to a

new level. a dangerous level? to a dangerous level, yes, because it turns people against journalism as one of the pillars of our democracy. two years since being elected, negative stories that might sink any other politicians have bounced off president trump. yet as november's midterm elections, some were wondered if crying fake news still had the desired effect. but with the votes in and trump declaring success, it was very soon business as usual. when you report the fake news which cnn does a lot, you are the enemy of the people. go ahead. as president trump roars into the second half of his first term, there is no sign he plans to change his winning and highly

divisive strategy. you are a rude, terrible person, you should not be working for cnn. let's hear president trump's response to a question from pbs's white house correspondent yamiche alcindor about the midterm campaign you called yourself a nationalist... i don't know why you're asking such an neat —— racist question. i don't know why you're asking such an neat -- racist question. what do you make of that? why do i have my highest poll numbers ever with african—americans? why do i have my highest poll numbers, that is such a racist question. and now here's the president's retort to a question by cnn's abby phillip, who asked about the status of the investigation into claims of russian collusion in the 2016 election following the sacking of former attorney generaljeff sessions. did you want to rein in robert mueller? what a stupid question that

is. you ask a lot of stupid questions. you ask a lot of stupid questions. let's talk now to frank sesno, he's a former cnn anchor and washington bureau chief, and is now director of the school of media and public affairs at the george washington university. thank you forjoining us. is part of the problem that the media in america has become partisan and the boundary between reporting the facts and commentary is so blurred that donald trump has a point when he disagrees with reporters?” donald trump has a point when he disagrees with reporters? i think this is a pre—existing condition. there were issues with the media and elsewhere than in america before donald trump. is it biased, is a liberal, is picking at certain politicians? i was a correspondent in london years ago and a prime minister like thatcher would say that if such stupid question. but

the difference here no mac is we have a president who is going after not only reporting that he thinks is unfairor not only reporting that he thinks is unfair or biased, because that has been around for a long time but he is attacking the decency and humanity and legitimacy of the individuals and the institution in ways we have not seen before. yes, i think the media are at some level complicit in this, we have ratcheted it up. broadly speaking in the united states, we have turned up the volume and the invective. that blurred line between news and opinion, but none of that forgives out excuses or even opinion, but none of that forgives our excuses or even explains the approach that donald trump is taking. he does so much of this on twitter. how do you compete as a media organisation when the president, several times a day, cuts the media out of the deal and communicates directly? you cannot

compete in taking him on twitter by tweet. i think most people get it and you have to keep your head down and you have to keep your head down and do yourjob. i think the media needs be better. it goes to being transparent with how they work, making sure people understand the distinction between reporting and opinion. making sure people understand that if you get it wrong asa understand that if you get it wrong as a journalist organisation you hold yourself accountable. the media needs more transparency and professionalism to counter this.” would just show our viewers a graphic. i want to make a point. the public exists in their bubble as well. this is a bubble of trump supporters. what the trust. 91% of them think that trump is trustworthy. this says a lot about

the flavour of american media at the moment. this is what i was saying, it isa moment. this is what i was saying, it is a pre—existing condition. there is a real strong sense among conservative americans that the media are liberal, out of touch and biased. these numbers have been on the decline from long time, 25 years or more. that is a shocking number and the overwhelming 91% of the president's supporters given a choice between the president of the media will take the president. i find that shocking not because his report —— supporters would rather believe him than the media, i get that. what is surprising and shocking is that the president has such a track record of inaccurate information and sometimes outright misrepresentation and lies. even his

supporters know that because we have other research that shows that. they can actually identify whether information was wrong and when it is collected. what they do not step away from the president in terms of supporting him. the understand usual but they will not abandon him. that is surprising. what is concerning for people, like you say margaret thatcher used to resort to these tactics at press conferences but we know that is a lot of pick—up of the term fake news around the world. if they see the treatment of these journalists, it is likely that will become the norm around the world. this is what i think everyone should be most concerned about. this co nsta nt be most concerned about. this constant and ferocious undermining of the credibility of media. even of its role, suggesting that accountability, that harsh questioning of people in power is

somehow not legitimate. it is demonising media which is so worrying. in the philippinesjust recently, going after a investigative news site for tax evasion when there is no evidence of that so many believe they are taking a lead from donald trump and trying to crack down on media which should worry anyone who cares about a ccu ra cy worry anyone who cares about accuracy and accountability. thank you very much forjoining us. just looking at some of the stats from the twitter media. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — as theresa may struggles to get her cabinet on board with her brexit plan — are the prospects of a deal more unlikely than ever? we'll head over to westminster to find out... hello, it

has been a day of dramatic showers. this picture comes from 0xfordshire. we have similar pictures from up and down the country. all downton low— pressure down the country. all downton low—pressure moving in from the west, bringing this rash of showers, working north eastwards. the heaviest of the showers have been across parts of southern england and wales. you can see the lightning strikes. further north, plenty of showers in england, scotland and northern ireland. this evening, we keep all those showers, especially heavyin keep all those showers, especially heavy in the west. they will move to the north—east. heavy and potentially showers which should start to ease through the early hours of tuesday morning. temperatures between five to 8 degrees. tomorrow, we are looking at

a drierand degrees. tomorrow, we are looking at a drier and brighter day with showers in west of scotland. western fringes of england and wales have showers as well but they will fade away. light winds and lots of sunshine for the bulk of the country, it should remain dry with temperatures up to 14 degrees. just a few showers in the far north—west. tuesday evening, rain heads into northern ireland and the west of scotland. that is ahead of that next weather system. into wednesday it will bring further showery rain. it will bring further showery rain. it will cross the west of the uk with higher pressure moving down to the east and south east. largely dry to the south east of england, claudio picture for wales and north england with a few showers in northern england, northern ireland and scotla nd england, northern ireland and scotland as well. with the mild air, temperatures could reach 14 or 15 degrees. things remain mild through wednesday into thursday. we will see

weather france in the north and west but higher pressure building in from the south—east. towards the end of the south—east. towards the end of the week, things remain mild. there will be a few spots of rain in the north—west but towards the weekend, it will turn drier, remaining mild with light winds. goodbye. you're watching beyond one hundred days. our top stories: 31 people have died and hundreds more are missing as devastating wildfires sweep through california. british mps are told "judgement day is coming" over brexit as the uk and eu strive for a deal in the next 48 hours. also on the programme..... the man behind the comic creations spider—man and the fantastic four —

stan lee — has died at the age of 95. and former presidential contender segolene royal lifts the lid on french politics and explains why there still hasn't been a woman in the top job. hello and welcome — i'm jane 0'brien in washington and christian fraser is in london.. nothing is certain about brexit — except perhaps one thing. it's going to cost a lot of money if no deal is reached. and with another deadline just two days away, the uk may have to start spending on contingency plans sooner rather than later. as always prime minister theresa may is not just negotiating with brussels, she also has her cabinet and her party to keep on side. and with the government resignation last week of transport minister jojohnson and the muttering of more possibly to come, she has her work cut out. to take the political temperature let's head over to westminster where we can talk to the mps seema malhotra and nigel evans. the transport minister, jo johnson

says this brexit deal is a failure of british stagecraft on a scale and seen since the suez crisis. do you agree? i think his analysis as to the negotiation is almost spot on to be honest, but his solution is to have a second referendum, and that's clearly has not been help anybody. i think the prime minister needed to be far stronger with the european union and she has been. she seems to have conceded many points, the 39 billion, the transition and in fermentation period, she is now looking at the backstop, that is not what we should be looking at. the chequers deal is not the brexit that the people of the valley voted for nor the united kingdom. the people of the valley voted for northe united kingdom. i the people of the valley voted for nor the united kingdom. i do hope that when we see the final deal, because it will all be in the

detail, that brexit means brexit, to quit the prime minister, and she needs to get back to her lancaster house speech, and stop editing away, and giving basically turning the united kingdom into a vassal state. ido united kingdom into a vassal state. i do have fears about that. that at the end of the day she will propose something, as you quite rightly say, she needs to get it through cabinet, and she needs to get it through parliament. if the backstop is one of those things that means that we can't leave properly as a decision of our own, can't leave properly as a decision of ourown, and can't leave properly as a decision of our own, and quite frankly, that is something that will not get through parliament. it is about time her cabinet started to tell her this, because i fear that there far too many people who are keeping her mouth shut, and they should really —— keeping their mouths shut, and they should really be giving support to the prime minister, so that you can be more resolute with the european union. she wanted to be strong, she said she wants to be a awkward woman, but you can be that with the european union, not with those who voted to leave.”

with the european union, not with those who voted to leave. i think it is behind in what he is saying. we have been through so many demons, and we are atjudgment point. it is and we are atjudgment point. it is a serious point. theresa may has just hit yet another brexit monday. starting the week in practice, the potential of a deal imminent, and thena potential of a deal imminent, and then a rollback on that, then a delay in the summit may be until next month. this is not the way to conduct negotiations of a country thatis conduct negotiations of a country that is supposed to be sure of its owi'i that is supposed to be sure of its own future, and the reason why she is struggling with her own cabinet, yet alone the rest of her party and why parliament is saying, come back with a deal that will get through in the interest of our economy and not your party, then parliament is going to take that some control. that is what is now happening in this place. it is not that theresa may are starting to call the shots, people are generally worried about what will happen for businesses and families in their constituencies. we have had dominic raab, our secretary of state, recently say in an strawberry admission, that he didn't

know how important the dover calais crossing was. —— in an extraordinary admission. we also have someone say if we damage the speed of what goes through that crossing it could put medical supplies at risk. we have had a surgeons say that you could see operations halted because many of our operations require real just—in—time delivery of crossings and equipment. there is a lot at sta ke and equipment. there is a lot at stake here. we could stop it if there was a man on the labour side who wanted a second vote. jeremy corbyn says quite clear that brexit can't be stopped, although keir starmer, the shadow ministers, says that can. not that clear on the labour side either. actually it is clear, and there is a mission and policy, and that has been discussed against it. i have heard jeremy supporting that notion. the key point is this. we have agreed as a

party that if there is not a deal thatis party that if there is not a deal that is going to meet the tests that will be supportive of our economy, make sure we get the benefit of access to the single market, make sure that we are in a customs arrangements that is on a permanent basis, not on a temporary basis, thatis basis, not on a temporary basis, that is that the will of any prime minister. that is not the way to be dealing with closest neighbours. we are showing a far greater majority and politics than we are currently seeing from the prime and stand members of her cabinet. if we don't get a deal, and there isn't an election, what we do them? we may well need to go back to the people to closes. it is notjust gordon brown who has said this. i will make this last point as well. we know this last point as well. we know this is a place where people are looking for alternatives. will there be an alternative that says we stay within the european economic area after we leave the transition period, a way of staying within the economic framework of the wider

european family. some americans that i talked to over here, why can't you simply have another referendum. if you can't agree on any of this, why can't you ? you can't agree on any of this, why can't you? because, parliament should take back control, but the people took —— she said pollard should take back control, but the people took control when they voted. he is avoiding the question. whether there is a second vote or not, that will depend and wetherby have a deal that will get through parliament. —— whether we have a deal. also, why not go back if it turns out that the british people .my people have it all the time. we elect our government every five years less often than that. jammie has said no toa often than that. jammie has said no to a second referendum. he has not.

——jammie. and to a second referendum. he has not. —— jammie. and also to a second referendum. he has not. ——jammie. and also emily to a second referendum. he has not. —— jammie. and also emily thornberry has said no. what would it solve? what would it solve? we don't want about the con me at risk. that is the big question now. i am playing referees now. i the big question now. i am playing referees now. i can see the big question now. i am playing referees now. i can see why it is so contentious. i really wish we hadn't asked. the man who co—created the universe of marvel comics, stan lee, has died at the age of 95. he dreamed up heroes like spider—man, hulk, the x—men, the fantastic four and iron man — giving them super powers, but also humanity. the bbc‘s lizo mizimba has more. in comics... in cartoons, in cinema. sta n in comics... in cartoons, in cinema. stan lee's creations have captivated fa ns

stan lee's creations have captivated fans the decades. he started in publishing in the 1930s, at a company that would eventually evolve into marvel, and where he helped to create the fantastic four, the hulk, ironman, black panther, the x—men, the avengers, and so many more.” would be writing the stories along with the artists we would be working with, and we would all be hoping that somebody would buy the comic books, so that we could keep our jobs, and pay the rent, and not be thrown out on the streets. but we neverfor a minute thrown out on the streets. but we never for a minute could thrown out on the streets. but we neverfor a minute could have envisioned anything like what happened to these characters. two—dimensional on the page, sta nley‘s two—dimensional on the page, stanley's —— stan lee's characters we re stanley's —— stan lee's characters were three—dimensional. take spider—man immersed in guilt about not preventing the death of his ankle. don't make me angry, you would not like me when i was angry. it was inevitable that tv and

hollywood would come calling. and sta n hollywood would come calling. and stan lee's frequent cameos, a co nsta nt stan lee's frequent cameos, a constant on—screen reminder. that he was consulted about the direction of the stories, and their often imperfect stars. big man, with a suit of armour. take that off, who are you? echoing their comic book origins, they had frequent conflicts. super heroes, who fought together, as often as they fought each other. and that is the real reason his characters still fill our comic books, and saw across our screens. stan lee, one of entertainment‘s biggest ever figures was a trailblazer. he was the first comic book writer to understand that the human behind the mask was much more interesting, much more

important, than the mask itself. you know, i guess one person important, than the mask itself. you know, i guess one person can important, than the mask itself. you know, i guess one person can make a difference. enough said. i grew igrew up i grew up watching the hulk i loved it. fond memories, there. and a line i will try on you, christian. don't make me angry, you won't like me when i am angry. you don't get green do you? we will find out. if revenge is a dish best served cold, then segolene royal's new book looks pretty tasty. the one time partner of the former french president francois hollande — and the mother of his four children — maintained a dignified silence through the 2012 presidential campaign, while mr hollande's then mistress — valerie trierweiler — took centre stage. but in her new book — what i can finally tell you — ms royal is spilling

the beans on her career. in the 1980s, she and hollande were seen as the rising stars on the left —she had a junior post in the government. in 2007 royal became the first woman from a major party to run for president. she lost to nicholas sarkozy. instead it was hollande who would become president in 2012. she was left out of his first cabinet, reportedly because valerie trierweiler didn't want her in the elyssee. but in 2014 — hollande had split from trierweiler, and royal was made envionment minister. royal has said her book is inspired by the metoo movement. i talked to herjust a short time ago and asked her why. during the metoo movement, a lot of people asked me to speak, also. and i didn't speak because i was in charge of the ministry, and after, when i go away of the minister, i thought it was time for me to write and to speak and to answer those questions. what was interesting is that the more and more men that asked me to speak...

why did you feel so strongly? was it because you felt that it was at the time impossible for you to become the president in 2000... did you feel that because you were a woman people look at you differently? i think it is because i am the woman that men in my own party were so brutal, were so negative. you know, "she is not clever, she wouldn't know where she is coming from..." they asked you who would look after the children? yes.

is that a question they would ever ask a man? no, never. never. there is always a woman for a man to take care of the children. to take out of anything else. i remember an incident, when i was in paris, reporting, when the housing minister stood up in the national assembly, and she was wearing a summer dress, and there were wolf whistles and jeers from the men, from the mps in the national assembly. and it said an awful lot about the attitude of french politicians to women, don't you think? yes. it is incredible. let me ask you about the current president, emmanuel macron. what did you make of his comments at the weekend, which were directed, you could say, at donald trump, and the america first policy, was he right to say what he said about donald trump? yes. i think he was right. because there is a danger about nationalism, and if each country say, only my country before

all other countries, you can't succeed, it is a problem. you have very strong nationalist forces in madame le pen in france, do you think that nationalism poses a serious risk to the international order now? of course. there is a danger. but it is not enough to say there is a danger. people never now will vote, because it is a danger. they will vote for the danger. this is very new. so we have to offer something better than the nationalism. and we have to be very clever and to work hard, to give something new for the citizens. because patriotism is not

nationalism, because people want to be... love their country, and want to be in their locality, and want to be happy everyday, and so they are afraid about globalism, so we have to link the local problems, the national problems and the international problems, and we have to link these three levels. i am very grateful for your time, segolene royal. thank you for being with us. thank you very much. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come — we'll speak to david priess, a former cia and intelligence officer about his new book, how to get rid of a president. three people have been convicted of being members of the banned neo—nazi group national action. daniel bogunovic was unanimously found guilty

at birmingham crown court, along with adam thomas and claudia patatas, whom thejury heard, had named their baby boy adolf, out of admiration for hitler. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford has the story. we are going to have white families and white children. a provocative national action demo before it was banned, after salivating the murder of the labourmp,jo banned, after salivating the murder of the labour mp, jo cox. 0n the left ear, giving the nazi salutes, was the group's main organiser, alex deakin. an open nazi, he recruited university students and even school children. after the ban, he took his members are underground, borrowing tactics from so—called islamic state, and communicating using a chat group named after the kkk. eight of his members have now been found guilty of belonging to a

banned group. perhaps the most dangerous one was this man, a serving lance corporal in the british army. he wrote about creating civil disorder and accumulated a personal arsenal of guns, crossbows and knives. 0ne accumulated a personal arsenal of guns, crossbows and knives. one of the most extreme people in the midlands group was adam thomas, who also wanted to join the army. he and his partner, claudia patatas gave their baby the middle name adolf after adolf hitler. amazingly, just two years earlier, adam had been in israel are trying to convert the jewish faith. it has not been just talk, in wales, a former national action member, zach davis, was convicted of trying to murder a sikh dentist. another, jack renshaw, admitted plotting to murder his mp in lancashire, and a third, was found guilty of trying to create a

pipe bomb in yorkshire. seven palestinians, including a hamas commander, have been killed in an undercover israeli operation in gaza. an israeli unit travelling in a civilian vehicle killed the militants. an israeli soldier was also among the dead on sunday. at least 150 people have been killed in 24 hours of clashes in the yemeni port city of hodeida. un secretary—general antonio guterres warned of a possible "catastrophic situation" if the port is destroyed. president trump has urged florida election officials to abandon planned recount efforts following the midterm election results. he said officials should declare his fellow republicans the winners and not cast doubt on vote tallies without evidence. robert mueller‘s investigation into russian election meddling and any collusion with the trump campaign is wrapping up and his report might

by finalised any day. but even if president trump is accused of anything — could he be impeached? it's only ever happened to two us presidents — and andrewjohnson and bill clinton were both were acquitted. that's because the procedure, while it can be launched by a simple majority in the house — can only be confirmed by a two thirds majority in the senate. to talk more about this, david priess isjoining us live — he is author of the book ‘how to get rid of a president'. title. how difficult is it to get rid of a president via impeachment? it is quite difficult, except for the next election, which was the original method that the founders of the united states enshrined in the constitution. 0ne the united states enshrined in the constitution. one of the ways in the concentration is impeachment. it was about two thirds vote in the senate,

it is incredibly hard to get an impeachment and a conviction, which means removal. there is once successful case that we did not list, which was richard nixon. he was not formally impeached and removed, but he was well on his way to that, and he only resigned to avoid the inevitable impeachment that was coming. in fact, as i write any book, we did have a successful case. bearing in mind how generally it isa case. bearing in mind how generally it is a political decision, how dangerous is it to go down that road? it is, as in certain conditions. 0ne road? it is, as in certain conditions. one of the conditions has got to be that the president is demonstrably and fit for office, not just unpopular, because the next unpopular president can be removed at the next election. being and fit means “— at the next election. being and fit means —— unfit the leadership means. . . means —— unfit the leadership means... nelson ecb the political

will to say we would be better off with whatever is coming next.” suppose, you have got a good back to the beginning of this, and understand what the founding fathers will try to do with the constitutions? right. because adhesion was designed to address as many different contingencies as possible. —— the constitution was designed. but we have got to remember this all came about in a few months in a hot crowded room in philadelphia in 1877. they could not anticipate all the things that would happen, said it out of the ones they could. we don't have a president? they decided yes. are we going to handle the election? yes, we will make sure you get selected the right way. are we going to have any time at all, or a president serving in good behaviour? they decided to put a term on it, but one condition they put on it was we have to have a means to the getting rid of a president who violates the norms of the constitution, so they put the impeachment clause in there. it has

only been exercised if you times, but there have been many attempts as a way of signalling to a president, this is going too far, this could reach impeachment, if you keep going. the concern is if you needed to do it in going. the concern is if you needed to do itina going. the concern is if you needed to do it in a hurry, you could not trigger the impeachment. 0nly take this president as an example, because it is one pertinent tweetdeck comes to mind, when she sent to kim jong—un, when tweetdeck comes to mind, when she sent to kimjong—un, when he tweetdeck comes to mind, when she sent to kim jong—un, when he said i've got a bigger button than you do. there is nothing to stop him? yes, that's right. in the book, i address other means that go from leaf fa ct address other means that go from leaf fact of this foul, of getting rid of a president. 0n the foul ‘s guide, we have seen reports coming out from the book, fear, and an anonymous account, both of whom describe situations where people under him have removed papers from his desk and blocking his worst

impulses in other words. that is on the matter is not the norm, but it is the kind of thing that you would expect someone to do if they saw the president about to murder millions of people on a whim without any self defence justification at all. that isa defence justification at all. that is a means of removing the president, removing in place, also be taking away some of their powers, extra constitution earlier. but david, is that a threshold? because a lot of people said that george w bush should have been the war in iraqi. where is the line? that is why tip comes a political process. —— that is why it becomes able to go process. “— —— that is why it becomes able to go process. —— a political process. most impeachment resolutions are never voted on, they are shunted off and not before. but in theory, that is when they discuss, does this rise to the level of in preaching the president. david priess, thank you very much forjoining us. just very
